Hells Angels, Shotguns, Pipebombs, and a Whole Lotta Meth
Police in Oklahoma said October 6, that they have the Modesto, CA. man suspected of killing San Francisco Hells Angels leader Mark “Papa” Guardado. The cops are fingering thirty-seven year-old freelance electrician and Modesto father of two Christopher Ablett, part of East L.A.-based biker gang The Mongols.
“The Mongols and the Hells Angels have long feuded. The bloodiest run-in between the two groups happened in April 2002, when a fight involving dozens of members in a Laughlin, Nev., casino resulted in the deaths of three bikers and caused 13 injuries.”The Monday arrest follows the Sepetember pipe-bombing of a San Jose Mongols outpost, which in turn followed a 1,000 biker-strong funeral for Guardado, gunned down in The Mission Sept. 2 after a “wrestling match” with alleged attacker Ablett.
This is pretty much some of the best news of all time. Along with those Somalian pirates hijacking a freighter full of tanks, headlines don’t really get much better than this. Many thought the Hells Angels were extinct, some sad 1970s relic overshadowed by the domestication of motorcycling everywhere. Bikes are the new mid-life crisis gift. Yet, here we have chain-whipping, meth-slinging, gang-raping, casino-brawling bikers … in 2008!
